Oaks Day

The Henry Cecil trained Timepiece is back on track today at Epsom in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at 1.40. The trainer believes she has come on for her York run when third in the Middleton Stakes behind Midday and though this is a good Group Three the filly faces nothing of the class of Midday today.
Midday is set to take on the colts in the Coronation Cup later on the same card at 2.45. The five-time Group One winning mare is reportedly in fine shape according to Henry Cecil but comes up against St Nicholas Abbey today who looked to be right back to his best last time at Chester in the Ormonde Stakes winning by nine lengths. I have tipped up both horses this season but preference is just for the O’Brien trained colt today with fingers crossed that the four-year-old is having one of his good days – it should be a belter of a contest between the pair.
I have already tipped up Havant for The Oaks in my preview and will be sticking with the Stoute trained filly in the big one at 4.05.
Be lucky
